            Kagome Higurashi was a puzzle. She was confusing and contradictory and impossible to figure out.

            It drove him crazy.

            No human girl was supposed to be so complex.

            Even his girlfriend wasn’t as confusing as Kagome Higurashi was, and she had been raised by a pack of inu-youkai.

            “Is there a reason you cannot stop staring at my girlfriend?” a cool voice asked.

            Shippo turned to look over his shoulder at his best friend, who also happened to be the older brother of his girlfriend.

            “How do you know I’m not staring at my girlfriend?” Shippo asked, turning back to where Kagome was sitting with Rin.

            “Kitsune,” Sesshomaru growled warningly.

            Shippo rolled his eyes. “Relax. I’m just wondering what it is about her that’s so puzzling. If you’re worried about someone coming on to her, you should be paying more attention to your half-brother.”

            Shippo watched in fearfulness as a smirk appeared on Sesshomaru’s face.

            “I already plan to have a talk with him.”

            Shippo snorted, but couldn’t stop the pity that welled up inside of him.

Inuyasha was going to get it.

            Shippo shivered.

            “What made you go after her?” Shippo asked, unable to hold in his curiosity as he watched Kagome giggle with Rin.

            “She shot me with a purifying arrow after I insulted her technique.”

            Shippo stared at his best friend in horror. “How is she still alive?”

            “She healed my wound after saying she thought I would have dodged it.”

            Shippo gaped. “Your girlfriend is…”

            “Indeed.”

…

I couldn’t come up with anything else.

I’m so disappointed in myself!
